AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Peoples is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal. It aims to present Indigenous worldviews from native Indigenous perspectives. It is dedicated to the analysis and dissemination of native Indigenous knowledge that uniquely belongs to cultural, traditional, tribal and aboriginal peoples as well as first nations, from around the world.

Submissions responding to this general call for papers should relate to one or more of themes of the journal:

• Origins
• Place
• Peoples
• Community
• Culture
• Traditional and oral history
• Heritage
• Colonialism
• Power
• Intervention

• Self-determination

AlterNative particularly encourages Indigenous scholars to contribute submissions. Specialists and practitioners working on Indigenous issues are also welcome.

Submission and Deadlines
AlterNative primarily publishes substantive articles (up to 7000 words) that address a particular indigenous topic or theme. Each article should include a 100 -150 word abstract. Please visit our website for complete author guidelines and our online submission portal.
